Re: Problems Subclassing NSDateFormatter in IB

Unless you make an IBPalette for your subclass of NSDateFormatter, I
don't think you can use IB to set it in the the NSTextField.  You will
need to set the formatter with with NSTextField's -setFormatter: method
from the -awakeFromNib method of the nib's owner or a subclass of the
window/window controller/view that contains the NSTextField.
